Grace looked at Lowell's disappointed gaze, which was full of hatred and grievances.
Looking at his innocent expression, she felt a twinge in her heart.
She apologized, "I'm sorry. I've got nothing against you, but we've already suffered losses. Therefore, we are treating everyone in this way. It's nothing personal. Do you understand?"
Lowell paused for a moment and then laughed all of a sudden. The grievance in his gaze vanished instantly with just a word.
Grace felt sorry for him, thus she smiled at him, "Go ahead."
"Thank you, Heinz. Thank you, Grace and Alice. Thank you, Mr. Driver. Thank you, Mr. Butler," he thanked everyone politely. "Also, thank you, my little nephews."
Little Gary frowned instantly and threatened, "You'd better prove that you are indeed our uncle. Otherwise, I'll let you call me Uncle instead."
"Yes, don't you dare take advantage of us," Ernest followed Little Gary and threatened him too.
Lowell smiled and replied with certainty, "I'm your uncle for sure."
Butler Holland then left with him.
Heinz and Grace returned to the living room with the children.
"Grace, come with me to the study room," he said.
After being dazed for a moment, she nodded and turned around to say to Alice, "Take good care of the children."
"Okay," Alice nodded.
In the study room.
As soon as Heinz entered the study room, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Grace. I did a thing without informing you in advance today."
Her heart skipped a beat. She looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Jensen and I went to meet your mother in private today," he answered as he looked at her eyes with some worry.
A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, followed by shock. She asked while stuttering, "Why did she look for you?"
Heinz held her hands with both of his, only to find that her palms were as cold as ice.
He answered anxiously, "Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter why she came looking for me. I know what I'm doing."
"Heinz." She said awkwardly, "You don't know what kind of person she is. She was a loving mother before I turned 15. After I turned 15, she was a mother who abandoned us all of a sudden without leaving a word."
"After I became a mother, I knew what it felt like to leave my child behind. I'm also a mother, but I couldn't do it."
"Therefore, I can't understand her behavior in any case. Why did she abandon Alice and me? Even if she doesn't get along well with Dad, she shouldn't abandon us, her children."
"I really can't accept and forgive this behavior of hers. I'm not mad at her for abandoning me, but I'm mad for Alice. Do you know that she was still very young at that time?"
"If Lowell is really her child, and she abandoned him again, then she shouldn't be considered as a mother, nor even a human being at all."
"Tell me, why did she look for you?" Grace asked.
"She said that we are not suitable for each other," he answered. "That we shouldn't be together."
She gasped with astonishment and asked, "Did she really say that?"
"Yes." He did not hide anything. Since the marriage incident, he told himself in his heart that he could no longer deceive Grace.
"How ridiculous." Her face was full of rage.
He found that she was really furious with Candace. If it was something else, she would not be so infuriated. However, the damage a mother had done to the child was like a heartwrenching pain.
